December 20th and a crew are up at the lodge, in preparation for our quests. Building is now warm enough to be comfortable in a Tshirt. Snow depth at stake is 150 cm.; nice fluffy snow with firm base. Hydro system not yet in operation due to heavy ice build-up but they hope to have it going tomorrow.

11,000 feet.

Today was an incredible day of spring skiing!!
Some went to the summit of East Peak, others were on the Bluewater Glacier and others skied the Ramp and Diamond Dust.
It froze enough last night to firm up a good base; everyone had a good day and were back to the lodge by 2PM.
Surprisingly stable; haven't spotted any movement/slides.

Good Day at Campbell though snow was not the greatest in some areas. Some people went up on the Dome, others to the Bluewater. Best skiing was touring in the trees.
Stability is Good in mornings but Fair-Poor in afternoons.
It barely froze overnight and max was +10C yesterday.

Over last 24 hours minimum temp has been +2 C and max +12 C.
Despite these warm temps, they found some really good skiing in the Xmas Tree Run. Other guests went up Paradise and
Thunder Bowl but conditions were not as good.
They've had a little rain/snow mix today and are hoping cooler temps will mean new snow.
These snow conditions have not decreased enthusiasm and all are having a good time.

Hoping for cooler temperatures.
